Bayonne police have issued arrest an warrant for a seventh suspect, Derrick Hilton, 18, of Humphrey Avenue in Bayonne, in connection to the beating of Dawid Strucinski, the 22-year-old Bayonne man who remains in a coma at the Jersey City Medical Center.

Hilton is charged with riot and endangering an injured victim, police said.

Strucinski was left in a coma after he was jumped by about nine people near the Quick Chek at Broadway and 12th Street in Bayonne at around 3 a.m. July 3.

Today, police arrested a sixth suspect -- a 15-year-old boy -- and charged him with the riot and endangering injured victim today after a parent brought him to headquarters, police said.

Five other teens -- two girls, ages 14 and 17, and three 16-year-old boys -- have also been arrested in connection with the incident.

Strucinski was beaten after he rushed to help a friend who was being harassed by a group of nine boys and four girls, police said.

The three 16-year-old Bayonne boys are all charged with aggravated assault, endangering a victim, and rioting, and one of them is additionally charged with second-degree theft, Deputy Chief Ralph Scianni said.

The teen girls are both charged with endangering an injured victim and with rioting, he said.

Strucinski was also victim of theft, police say.

Based on statements from principal actors involved the incident, police believe that after one of the 16-year-old boys knocked Strucinski to the ground, another 16-year-old boy rifled through his pockets and grabbed his wallet.

Anyone with information about this crime should contact Bayonne police detectives at (201) 858-6925 or call the confidential tip line at (877) 900-8477.

Strucinski's father, Peter, 45, said today that, given the severity of his son's injuries, the teens who beat his son should be tried as adults.
